power of hydrogen Flashcards
the power of hydrogen’s ph
Hydrogen (pH) scale is a numerical scale ranging from 0–14.
It is used to compare the acidity of solutions.
– A solution is considered more acidic than another if the dissolved
compound within it released more hydrogen ions, which in turn produced
more hydronium ions.

hydrogen vs hydroxide
- The pH scale provides a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is based on the relative
concentrations of hydronium ions and hydroxide ions in solution.
concentration
– Concentration is the abundance of a substance in a given volume of solution. * If the solution has a greater hydronium ion concentration it is acidic, and if the solution
has a greater hydroxide ions concentration it is basic.

acdic solution:[H ] 3O+] > [OH–,
neutral soultion: [H3O+] = [OH–
basic soultion: [H3O+] < [OH–

water
Water is neutral because it contains equal quantities of hydronium and hydroxide ions.
Note: Water reacts with itself because it is amphoteric
ph scale
The pH scale was developed by Danish chemist Søren Sørensen in 1909. The
scale is used to compare to the concentration of hydronium ions in different
solutions.
* The values on the scale increase or decrease exponentially (by a factor of 10)
as you move up or down the scale.
